Chapter 2 NIRvana-LN Camera System 21
WinView/32 and WinSpec/32 are Princeton Instrument's
32-bit Windows
®
software packages designed specifically
for high-end imaging and spectroscopy, respectively. The
Princeton Instruments' software provides comprehensive
image/spectral capture and display functions. The package
also facilitates snap-ins to permit advanced operation.
Using the optional built-in macro record function, you can
also create and edit your own macros to automate a variety
of operations.
WinView and WinSpec take full advantage of the versatility of the NIRvana-LN
camera and even enhance it by making integration of the detection system into
larger experiments or instruments an easy, straightforward endeavor.
Included with the software is a user manual which describes how to install and use
the respective application program. A PDF version of the manual is provided on the
installation CD. Additional information is available in the program's online help.

PVCAM
®
PVCAM is Princeton Instruments’ standard 32-bit software interface for cooled
CCD cameras. It is a library of functions that can be used to control and acquire
data from the camera when a custom application is being written.
For example, in the case of Windows, PVCAM is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL.)
It should also be understood that PVCAM is solely for camera control and image
acquisition, not for image processing. PVCAM places acquired images into a
buffer, where they can then be manipulated using either custom written code or by
extensions to other commercially available image processing packages.
NOTE:
NIRvana-LN may be compatible with third-party data
acquisition software packages. Check with individual
providers for compatibility and support information.

Refer to Appendix C, IsoPlane 320 Mounting , on page 105 for information about the
optional adapter for mounting the NIRvana-LN to a spectrograph.
